The Schmoes Know Movie Show: The 5 Coolest Sci-fi Premises

The Schmoes are a couple of regular guys, Kristian Harloff and Mark Ellis, who--like you--are the people for whom movies are made. Each week, we're posting brand new video from the Schmoes that'll give their spin on a given movie topic.

Science fiction is a tricky genre to pull off—it can easily veer off into the confusing, off-putting or just plain silly. But when it's great, it's great. It remains to be seen where the Tom Cruise sci-fi flick Oblivion will fall (more on that from the Schmoes later), but for now Kristian and Mark tell us what they think are the coolest sci-fi premises Hollywood's ever come up with.

Watch, comment and don’t forget to check out all the Schmoes Know videos on their YouTube channel.
